Abstract
A removable handle having first and second portions for attachment to a fabric. A first portion is covered in the fabric for attachment and forced through a second portion. The first portion is then reoriented to prevent the fabric from passing back through the second portion retaining the second portion to the fabric.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . An apparatus for pulling a curtain, comprising:
a body portion having a first and second aperture therein, said second aperture being an ellipse having a minor and major radii; and a fastener unit, said fastener unit being an ellipse having a minor and major radii, wherein said minor and major radii of said fastener unit being greater than said minor and major radii of said second aperture.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said body and said fastener unit are constructed from a rigid material.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said body and said fastener unit are capable of being disinfected.
4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said fastener unit is the remains of creature of said first aperture of said body.
5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said fastener unit is placed in a first orientation to pass through said second aperture.
6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said fastener is placed in a second orientation preventing passage of said fastener unit through said second aperture.
7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a fabric is interposed between said body and said fastener unit.
8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein said fabric is forced through said second aperture by said fastener unit in said first orientation.
9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein once said fabric is forced through said second aperture, said fastener unit is placed in the second orientation to affix said body to said fabric.
10 . A curtain pull, comprising:
a body having a first and second aperture therein, said first aperture being of a larger dimension than said second aperture; and a fastener unit, said fastener unit being complementary to said second aperture and having a larger dimension than said second aperture; wherein said fastener unit passes through said second aperture in a first orientation and does not pass through said second aperture in a second orientation.
11 . The curtain pull of claim 10 , wherein said second aperture and said fastener unit are ellipse.
12 . The curtain pull of claim 10 , wherein said body and said fastener unit are rigid and capable of being disinfected.
13 . The curtain pull of claim 10 , wherein said body is adapted to be removably affixed to a curtain.
14 . The curtain pull of claim 13 , wherein fabric is interposed between said body and said fastener unit.
15 . A method of removably attaching a handle to a web of flexible material, comprising:
providing a body having a first and second aperture, said second aperture is an ellipse having a minor and major radii; providing a fastener unit, said fastener unit is an ellipse having a minor and major radii greater that the minor and major radii of said second aperture; placing said body proximate to said web such that said first aperture of said body extends laterally beyond an edge of the web; placing said fastener unit proximate to said web, such that said web is interposed between said fastener unit and said body; pushing the fastener body, and a portion of the interposed web, through said second aperture, said fastener unit being oriented in a first position relative to said body in which said fastener unit fits through the second aperture; and reorienting said fastener unit relative to said body to a second position in which said fastener unit fails to fit through said second aperture, retaining the interposed web portion.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein said first aperture in said body acts as a handle.
17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein said body and said fastener unit are constructed from a rigid material.Cited by (0)
